Planet Fitness – Beaverton

I’m updating my review. This place has actually stepped up so much since my last review. It took me a while to downgrade back to the white card because a newer girl (can’t remember her name) told me I couldn’t downgrade yet. But a week later I downgraded. I seriously am in love with this gym again. Upbeat employees (especially Jordan and Zac). I haven’t had a bad experience ever here

Everything you need in a gym, weights, friendly service, and at $ 10 a month you can’t beat it. There isn’t a sauna, or a pool, or a basketball court, but hey what do us spoiled Americans really need to work out?

I have been going to this location since it opened and have always had a great experience. The staff is very friendly and always greets me when I check in. The equipment is clean and in great condition. I run outside a lot so when i feel like cross training i will stop in and get a quick workout in. I’ve never had to wait for cardio machines, but the weight area is definitely lacking. Overall for the price it is a great gym. I have recommended this gym to friends and they too have had a consistently good experience.

I love this place but they never answer then phone and I get put on hold for up to 10 minutes.

Just moved from NY to Portland and this is by far the best Planet Fitness I have visited. My boyfriend and I have the black card and love the range of weights and equipment they offer at this gym. We both also love the atmosphere, the friendly staff, the clean environment, and the amount of light and windows within the facility.

Great staff, working and new machines, very open and able to work out without any pressure. Also the hydro massage beds are amazing. They are currently doing construction around the complex so watch out where you park.

I have been a member of many athletic clubs over the years including Multnomah Athletic club, Golds Gym, Ballys, LA Fitness and a guest at many other gyms, clubs and resorts during holidays and my travels. Planet Fitness is amazing compared to many others because of the clean and friendly consistent experience they deliver every time I am at any location. I overheard conversations and dialog of the main man «MAX» and the staff and it’s very clear there is strong leadership here, add Lady Ashlea and the rest of the staff equals AWESOME EXPERIENCE-​! I live in HIllsboro and work in Beaverton-I’LL BE BACK.

I made one minor complaint on Unilocal,I got prompt response by a staff member, and got to see a nice shiny clean stair climber this weekend.
You guys just «get it» … thank you for truly caring about what your customers think, and kudos for your prompt resolution!

Been a member here since March 2015 and I come here almost everyday. The gym is wonderful and they all seem like they’re new. Half of the room is full of cardio equipment and half are for weight training. I definitely wished there were more equipment or machines, especially power racks and squat racks but then I remembered, this is a beginner’s gym. Gym overall is wonderful, always clean. I just don’t like the staff. Specifically the two of female staff (Don’t know their names but one has short brown hair, other one is long black hair) I never get a good vibe from them I always feel like they force their smiles at me and the girl with the brown hair has rolled her eyes at me before. The male staff however, is extremely friendly and pretty damn cute too!

I recently got a membership to PF at Beaverton and so far have been a fan. The chain in general is a no frills gym with cardio machines and weight machines. It’s a place where if you need to sweat for 45 – 60 minutes 3 – 4 days a week, it does the job. The machines are clean and in good condition. They have a lot of them, so you usually don’t have to wait. The place emphasizes no judgment, meaning they are aiming for people who aren’t workoutaholics. $ 10 a month for ²⁴⁄₇ access is perfect. Obviously, this isn’t the place to go if you want a basketball court, tennis/​racket sports, swimming pool, running track, yoga class, etc, but overall for what I need (a place to do cardio/​weights 3 – 4 days a week), it does the trick.

I love this place! For $ 10 a month you get free training classes and ²⁴⁄₇ access to the equipment! I have the $ 20 a month and hardly use the other amenities but like that I can bring someone with me with no charge.
The classes are awesome! I love Rob! I would give him 5 stars alone but disguise it with one star just so I’d still have a spot in his classes. He is always changing it up and challenging his regulars. And I love how encouraging he is! It’s been over a year since I’ve been in the gym since having my baby so it’s been a challenge but its so worth it!

What I most like about this particular location are the classes. I’ve been to classes at other locations and they just don’t come close to trainer Rob. I took his ab class and was sore for 3 days! He’s always so energetic and knowledgeable about what he’s doing. The facility is somewhat clean, could use some more dusting and such. The front desk girls are pleasant enough, however there have been multiple times that I wasn’t even acknowledged when I walked in. It seems they socialize more than do their actual job. Overall the gym itself isn’t bad, I would keep my membership just for the classes.

I really like this gym. The staff is nice and the place is clean. I never have any trouble waiting for machines or using the free weights since most people who come here are all about that cardio. The cardio equipment is plentiful and in really good condition. I really can’t stand the whole concept behind the gym going with the whole anti-​gym philosophy but hey it is there business model and it works for them. I have never heard the dreaded «lunk alarm» pulled and still find it odd they pride themselves on being non judgmental but they are actually being judgmental of a certain type of lifter. Rant over. The place is great because I think the staff are great. $ 10 dollars a month for a basic membership which does the trick for me.

I’ve never been a gym person, but Planet Fitness has worked great for me.
The staff have, in general, been very good. Lisa and Ashlea at the front are great; very helpful, very friendly, and they work really hard at recognizing you if you come in on a regular basis. Rob, one of the trainers, is awesome too. There have been a couple of times that I wanted to cancel my sign-​up for a class and Rob has encouraged me to make it in which I never regret.
The facility itself is well kept too. The equipment always seems to be in good repair and the bathrooms and workout areas a clean. The few times that I’ve seen pads or whatever start to wear out, they get replaced pretty quickly before the item becomes unusable. They have different areas to workout in: weights, a circuit area, treadmills, and an area for abs and medicine ball type workouts.
One thing that I appreciate about this gym is their focus on getting «non-​gym people» in. Even though their «judgement free zone» slogan is just marketing, it does seem to work; people are respectful of the rules, and many seem to feel less intimidated working out there.
There are always plenty of treadmills and other similar equipment available which is nice. I like the classes that they offer too. If you are more advanced in the workouts you do, this honestly may not be the gym for you. I will say though that I see people on all ends of the spectrum in here, so it’s really up to you to make it what you want it to be.
I highly recommend Planet Fitness to anyone, especially those looking for their first gym experience.

Meh. It’s cheap, and pretty close to where I live. Always crowded, not enough machines, for some reason there’s been kids there taking up space on machines, generally with no parents to be seen. They must have a promo with local schools or something because every other month or so there’s an influx of high schoolers, also mostly just taking up space. As far as the sign up promos I saw someone say it’s a scam. Not really, they do the promo a lot so wait long enough and it’ll be back. But you do get charged like $ 50 (I don’t recall the amt) or something a few months in so be aware of that — one of those fine print sorta things.
Signs everyplace about re-​racking weights and wiping down machines generally go unnoticed.
Overall, it’s a gym and the cheapest option doesn’t require a contract so I guess you get what you pay for.

This is my favorite PF for the amenities and the size. I travel full time and love PF for the affordable price and it has everything I need.
This one in particular is nice and spread out compared to others I’ve been to.
Tons of treadmills and the weight machines aren’t all scrunched together like some smaller pfs.
The locker rooms are clean. Love the built in locks! Not all of the PFs have this. And hair dryers. And changing stalls.
Strong wifi.
It has a lot of other stuff I don’t take advantage of.

Crap! Not worth it! Don’t go! If you have a membership and are wanting to leave, make sure you cancle your account before the 10^th or you will be charged for the whole month. I found the staff to be extremely lazy, as well as not knowledgeable in anything that has to do with working out.

Love to work out here — the hours are the best! So easy to remember — 24 hours, 24 little hours, during which I can work on my tan, use the beauty angel beds (aka Total Body Enhancement) or the massage chairs — all of which are included if you buy the deluxe membership (well worth the extra 10 bucks a month) oh, and work out, too!
I like that everyone is encouraged to clean the equipment after each use (almost everyone does!) and the layout is pretty good. However, two little things bug me — they have no papertowels (or any towels for that matter) in the locker room, instead they have hand dryers — fine, if you don’t wash your face, but what do you do if you wash your face (??). In addition, they have a little sign on the hand dryers saying they don’t want to waste paper? Odd, considering that the policy of cleaning your equipment means there are literally rolls and rolls of brown paper to wipe down the equipment with and copious amounts of paper ARE being used.
That’s the first little thing that bugs me and it rolls right into my next peeve with the place — no dedicated area for stretching. They have mats for stretching, but there’s no place to put them down — they really need to address this since everything else about the place is pretty sweet.

I love this new trend of gyms with low membership fees, especially since they offer tanning. I used to be great at going to the gym but since I let myself get out of shape I go off and on. Paying $ 40 for 24 Hour Fitness seems ridiculous when there are full months I don’t even step foot inside the building, not to mention they’re always so busy.
Enter Planet Fitness. Originally I had a cheap gym membership at Crunch Fitness and while I liked the gym I didn’t like the layout as much, the stand-​up tanning beds, or the fact that they closed earlier than I needed them to. Planet Fitness is open 24 hours a day, has great tanning beds, plus offers hydro-​massage beds and massage chairs as well.
They have two membership levels, $ 10 for basic gym use and $ 20 for gym use plus all the extras (tanning, massage, drink discount, guests, etc.). Really it’s a steal for $ 20. They don’t have steam rooms or yoga classes, but for the price I can do without those.
They have a 30-​minute circuit training area which I’ve come to love. It keeps my heart rate up, makes me feel like I’ve really worked myself, and by the end I’m sweating my butt off! I have to say, I’m hooked. I don’t usually find it too busy in the gym but I try to avoid peak times like the 5:00 rush.
Overall you really can’t go wrong here. I can’t really say it’s «no frills» because I consider tanning and massage frills, but you won’t find many classes like zumba or yoga. It’s more of a do-​your-​own-​thing type of place. However, for the price you can save enough money to sign up for classes somewhere else if you really want to. Just give it a try. You’ll be a convert in no time.

Super Awesome are the first two words that come to mind. I’ve been waiting for this place to open and today was the day. Didn’t hesitate to give it a test.
Awesome layout with a Sea of Life Fitness equipment! They didn’t skimp on anything. Even the locker rooms are classy and premium all the way! Gym lockers have built in locks that you set the combo for. Great layout of the equipment. Just can’t say enough. $ 10/​bucks a month… seriously! I’ll get way more than my money’s worth out of this place. Excellent! I highly recommend it!
